@nextcloud strange to encourage use of a centralised proprietary service on Mastodon. Was this a cross-post from somewhere?

@dietrich is there source for the firmware? Can users interrupt or redirect the OTA updates?

If either of those are not true, then the device is interesting but not something to recommend

The tools are maturing... enabling products built entirely on privacy-oriented decentralized platforms.

Iotex is a user-first home camera alternative to Nest, Ring, Wyze.

Built with decentralized identity and IPFS.

These are baseless accusations of "cybercrimes."

The charges are “an obvious attempt to attack a free press in retaliation for the revelations we reported about Minister Moro and the Bolsonaro government.” - Glenn Greenwald

Things which your project could use which immediately make me stop being interested in touching it at all:

- Google groups
- Bazaar
- LaunchPad
- SourceForge
- Slack

Don't use those things, thanks.

I've seen the benefit of the Feed-In-Tariff, and am saddened that locally it has been stopped by the latest provincial government.

At least Germany is still leading the world with this.

There was some way to opt out per card, but you need to look that up.

@sir working in asm, the JMP was tightly controlled; each section of code had well defined input, output, & modified register lists. Without that, the it was nearly impossible to comprehend.

Later, I came across code (professionally) where there was an inspired genius who liberally used the GOTO. No one could touch it without breaking. This is the more common usage.

Engineered GOTO is fine. Most developers are hacks and cut people with these sharp knives.

@sir it doesn't help that writing a custom allocator is one of the earliest exercises in the white bible.

Strangely it went along the lines of "here's variables, here's printf, here's pointers. Now write an allocator/deallocator"
